Well, finally approved. 5 years DTV. What a roller coaster.

Applied 20th August.

Approved 8th September

The templates help on here but I would highly recommend using grok.

You can just leave at your apartment reception, and they will probably know people. don't give it to secondhand shops, because they charge prices that are almost as much as new, so your stuff will just sit there and benefit noone.

I don't know what kind of things you have but, if you leave where trash is placed, people will see it and repurpose it... perhaps place a post-it note on electrical appliances to say that they are working but free.

Fortunately, in Thailand, there are many foundations that offer "door-to-door clothing donation" services, making your charitable act easier. You don't need to waste time traveling or lugging heavy clothes around; simply contact the foundation, and they will schedule a date and time to pick up the clothes from your home. Today, we've compiled a list of foundations that provide this convenient service.

Second Chance Bangkok, they will pick up, it’s all for a good cause around Klong Toey, and they are really nice. I tried to tip some of the workers who moved a lot of stuff out of my place but they refused.

Kenneth Owens Yes, I give everything I don't need to Fr Ray in Pattaya. Clothes, appliances, beds, electronic parts, mattresses, airline amenity bags etc. and I'm sure it all ends up somewhere useful even if they don't use it themselves. They collect large things too. I suppose there must be some equivalent in Bangkok.
